Then everything went smoothly.

Pick the right room, land, move.Pick again, land again, move.

Finally, the steel plate under their feet made a dull sound that was not the same as before, and watched the wall plate slowly pull away.

This time there is only one exit, because the other side is a stone wall.

The pirates cheered, the sound was deafening in this small space.

Although the adventure is coming to an end, it is not over yet. After all, there are still two poems [The golden river flows slowly, but there are only two glass jars. ] The crew did not dare to act rashly without finding out what to do.

This time, it was Shanks who was exploring the way ahead. As he walked, another small door appeared at the end of the secret passage.

Shanks stepped forward, and before he had enough time to catch his breath, he jumped back and yelled "Wow".

Everyone immediately became serious.

Beckman walked up and asked: "What? Is there something wrong?"

Shanks stared with amazement and admiration on his face, Beckman asked the second time, Shanks suddenly grabbed his sleeve and said excitedly: "Inside... there is a peerless and beautiful..."

Just as Beckman was about to frown, he was suddenly pushed, and Pan Mi squeezed to the front with a dissatisfied face and pushed the door in.

Pan Mi looked disbelieving and unconvinced, what kind of woman can get such a compliment from Shanks.

"The statue of..."

The second half of Shanks' words floated in the air.

Pan Mi was stunned.

It's just that what made her marvel and admire was not the peerless beauty who was carved from white marble, so lifelike and without any flaws.

Instead, in a room with dozens of luminous pearls gathered on the roof, under the soft and dim light, there is a resplendent and exquisite castle that occupies most of the underground space.

The walls and bell towers welded by gold leaf, and the golden-roofed church carefully create the texture of bricks and stones. The pavilions and palaces are all exquisite. The stones are paved with different small golden balls one after another. The fountain pool in front of the palace has Beautifully carved, the sprayed water solidifies into a golden splash, forever frozen at this moment.

There are also rows of little golden ladies, small gold carriages, golden horses and mules, and a golden garden. The most shocking thing is a moat made of crystal outside the castle. The golden transparent liquid flows slowly, piercing through it. After crossing under the golden bridge, it was stirred and fell by the waterwheel made of colored glaze, embracing this stunning and beautiful castle endlessly.

This is indeed too eye-popping scene.

That kind of shock cannot be understood without seeing it with one's own eyes.

The pirates behind filed in.Likewise, they were stunned.

"This stone statue is so beautiful."

"Is that gold castle nicer?"

"If it is fused and sold, it must be 20 billion, right?"

"Molten? What a waste!! Compared to gold, this craftsmanship is obviously more precious, okay! If this is put up for auction, the starting price will be at least 50 billion."

"How do you take it out if it's so big?"

"Take it apart and take it out! Then assemble it again..."

Beckman stopped and admired it for a while, then walked over to search around.

In addition to the golden castle and marble statues, there is also a set of tables and chairs and a large bookcase in this hall.

Opening the drawers one by one, there was nothing but a diary. There were many books in the bookcase, and Beckman closed the door again.

He cast his eyes on the two huge floor-to-ceiling vases in the corner.

The vases were thin-mouthed, one colorless and transparent, the other dark brown, both with stoppers.Inside are red powder and some kind of liquid.

"Don't make any noise." Beckman stopped a crew member who was sharpening their knives and was about to dismantle the golden castle. He knocked on the closed crystal canal, and his tone was rarely pleasant: "The king rewards our gold. it's here."

"Listen up, everyone, Jesus will cut the glass tube in a moment, hurry up if you haven't put on your gas mask!" Beckman reminded.

Obviously,

The king dissolved the gold with aqua regia.

Coincidentally, some of the crew had worked as apprentices in the gold shop, and it was not difficult to get the gold out of the liquid again, not to mention that the king had already prepared everything for them.

Copper powder and nitric acid.

More and more golden powder was piled up at the bottom of the "moat". Jesus took a glass bowl and made a glass colander that could separate solid and liquid, and scooped out the gold dust one by one while wearing gloves and a mask.

A crew member slowly poured copper powder "upstream", and the golden river gradually turned green and then blue.

"It's a pity that I didn't bring a barrel." Jesus clicked his tongue, turned his head and said to several crew members, "Chop the table, split the wood into thin planks and tie them with wire to make wooden barrels."

Shanks watched with great interest for half an hour, and after the novelty wore off, he began to look for his first mate and Xiao Bai among a dozen figures coming and going.

Soon his face turned pale. The two people seemed to have reached a certain level of revolutionary friendship during this adventure. At the moment, everyone was reading a book in their hands.

He rushed over and found that Pan Mi was reading the country's plant illustrated book.Shanks touched his nose, and went to see what Beckman was reading.

Fortunately, Beckman was reading the king's diary.

In many cases, the diary can be regarded as another type of navigation log. The lines are filled with the author's pride and unwillingness, adventure and death, glory and confusion, past and future, just like feeling another life.

"Beckman, let me take a look too." Shanks squeezed over, pulled half of the diary over forcefully, and flipped through it with relish.

Beckman twitched the corner of his mouth, "Read it quickly, and turn the pages by yourself after reading."

The trip is coming to an end, and the beautiful castle and the exquisite stone statues are also appreciated, and it is confirmed that the trip will return with a rewarding experience. Shanks is even more curious about the king's story.

The king was handsome, learned and romantic, and married a queen called Sumer.

Most of the space in the diary is used to record how he found his destined lover, and how sweet the days after he found his lover.

Probably because the first half of his life was too smooth, he didn't realize that all the gifts from fate were secretly priced.

Wife and children die of illness, citizens are sick, indifferent neighboring countries, mourning countries.

In the end, even he himself could not escape the bad luck.

…………

June [-]th, sunny

I have a bit of a headache today, probably due to a fever, and I can't help but wonder if I'm also infected with that infectious disease.It is said that several of the maids also fell ill. Is it because of contact with sick people?I dare not call someone for diagnosis and treatment. If the news spreads, the people will be even more frightened.

June 21, sunny

The high fever persisted, and it seemed that luck had not favored me.I also fell ill, and in about seven days, or eight days, I too will turn into dust and follow Sumer.

June 22, sunny

They bombarded the people's ships in my territorial waters, but I was powerless. Even my anger was crumbling. My lover, my children, my people, and my soldiers all left me.What did I do wrong to be punished like this?

June 23, sunny

There was bleeding under the skin today, and I couldn’t hide it anymore, so I ordered people to open the palace gate and let the maids and guards leave.Molly insisted on staying and taking care of me, she was a good woman, but I couldn't give her anything, not even my last name, because it belonged to Sumer.

…………

July [-]st, sunny

It is not the disease, but the human heart that has brought this disaster to this country.There's no contagion, it's just a metal, why didn't I catch it sooner? !I wasted Sumer's heart, she brought a miracle early in the morning, I am ashamed of this country.

July [-]nd, sunny

It was sunny again, and it rarely rained in Wisdom. I stood up and went to the high ground of the palace to look. There was only a dead city, and the country had already declined.

…………

July [-]th, sunny

Although the righteousness of thinking is awe-inspiring, if there is a chance to live, I still don't want to die.

July [-]th, sunny

I dreamed of Sumer yesterday. She was still so beautiful and charming. She made tea for me with her own hands. The snowy crystals from her hometown floated in the boiling water. I pushed her away in fright. up.

July [-]th, sunny

I am getting sicker and sicker, and my body is in pain. I may not even be able to hold a pen tomorrow, but I have been able to accept my fate calmly. Even after I die, I will protect Wisdom from being trampled by villains.

July [-], sunny

Sumer, I will be with my people.

----------

After reading the story, the process is not soul-stirring enough, but the ending is embarrassing enough.

At this time, all the gold had been cleaned up, and Jesus was so tired that he snored a little, with three buckets of shiny gold dust by his legs.

The pirates also lay sprawled on the ground, sleepy with their eyelids closed.

"This barrel weighs one and a half tons, can it be restrained?"

Beckman frowned. Although he disliked their lack of common sense, he didn't bother these sleeping companions. He squatted down and took out a stack of nylon bags from Jesus' cloth backpack, planning to repack them.

"I'll come." Shanks snatched the bag, "Why don't you go to sleep for a while, it should be night outside now?"

"It's two o'clock in the morning." Beckman said, "You take this watch and change it to me in two hours."

The underground at night was very cold, and Shanks, who had nothing to do, strolled around and couldn't help rubbing his arms.

People get sleepy when they are cold.

Yawned halfway——

He saw Pan Mi crouching under the table, her face covered with a half-read book, motionless.

Shanks took off his cloak and walked over to cover it up.

But as soon as he stretched out his hand, he was stunned: "..."

Well, this is really a master who will not wrong himself.Taking a closer look, Pan Mi's whole body was wrapped in layers of red soft rattan from her neck to her feet. It was so tightly wrapped that it looked like a big silkworm cocoon.

Shanks fastened his cloak silently again, and curled up in a corner.

The castle is still magnificent, but the river surrounding it has changed from orange-yellow aqua regia to blue copper nitrate solution, like a liquid blue crystal belt, which looks even more beautiful.

The next day, the crew members were shaken awake one by one, stretched out, took out scones and jerky and started to eat breakfast.

The gold sand and silver bricks have already been packaged, and as for the gold castle, Shanks meant to stay there.

What he said was decisive and resounding, quite bold and loyal of a great pirate:

"This is a precious relic of this country. Since the gifts we have received are quite rich, let's keep the best."

But before leaving, Shanks reverted to his old ways, holding on to the stone statue reluctantly, "Beckman, why don't we move her to Amazon Lily, and ask Snake Girl if she can transform people back."

"Can you accumulate some virtue?!! This is the king's wife! Besides, this is not petrified by the fruit of love!"

Beckman said, if it weren't for the things in his hands, he really wanted to grab this wayward and shameful guy and kick him twice.

But someone kicked him.

Pan Mi looked at Shanks's hippie smiley face and pretended to cry, and then glanced at the beautiful, dignified and noble stone statue, her chest was sour and swelled with indescribable emotions, and finally she couldn't hold back, and kicked Shanks. onto the door frame.

Pan Mi said viciously, "You're blocking my way!"

It took another day for the pirates who returned with a full load to reach the shore where the Reid was docked.

They were full of joy, looking at their companions who jumped off the boat one after another to meet them, and laughed while throwing their hats, shouting loudly: "Guess what we brought back?! Let's have a banquet tonight!!"

The crew who ran over were not infected by their emotions, he said anxiously:

"Doctor, Philip has a high fever."

The boat doctor said indifferently, "Hahaha, the idiot still gets sick?"

The other party was so anxious that he said to an ant on a hot pot: "Really! He started to have a high fever the day before yesterday, and today he has a rash on his body."

"!!!"

This is—an infectious disease that wiped out the entire Wisdom Kingdom!

A thought pops up in everyone's mind.

The author has something to say: I finally finished the decryption process.

I never thought that I would have a day when I was writing a composition and flipping through a comprehensive book...

Everyone’s comments and affirmations~
